Laser Hair Removal

A permanent solution for unwanted hair.

Most of us can attest to having an area (or two) of unwanted hair. Waxing, shaving and plucking away this hair is a time-consuming and painful process that can come with unpleasant side effects such as ingrown hairs and skin irritation. A series of laser hair removal treatments can help Fresno and Central Valley patients bid farewell to razors and make better use of their time. This permanent solution to reduce unwanted hair leaves skin smooth and soft in all the right places.

How it works.

At Macias Dermatology, we work with gold standard laser technology that is safe for all skin types and effectively treats a range of hair densities (fine, medium and thick). Laser hair removal cannot treat grey, white, blond or some red hair colors. The fast and comfortable treatments work by targeting hair follicles with heat energy delivered via a laser beam. This heat causes inflammation that puts the hair into the telogen (resting) phase—essentially arresting itsgrowth. In order to target the hair in its anagen (growth) phase, a series of treatment sessions spaced 4-12 weeks apart (depending on the area being treated) is recommended to realizeoptimal hair reduction. Some redness and swelling over the treatment area can be expected, but will dissipate within a few hours. Our medical practitioners will ascertain your candidacy and recommend a treatment plan that will achieve your hair reduction goals.
